Atkins was never just a “steak and eggs” diet. It’s actually a whole-foods diet that encourages eating “good†carbohydrates such as leafy greens and other vegetables, berries and other fruits, nuts and other delicious and satisfying foods. Just as importantly, Atkins encourages followed to cut out sugar, white flour and other refined grains, high-fructose corn syrup and the like. These foods have likely added inches to their waistlines and sapped them of energy. Restricting consumption of these “bad†carbs is the key to the Atkins program, as they are most likely to trigger the highs and lows of blood sugar that produce fatigue and hunger.
